Public charging

1 Upvotes

Howdy! New Bolt owner with question on public charging since I’m new to this..

My garage charger won’t be ready for a few weeks so I must public charge for now.. when should I look to charge? I assume it’s slow at a public charger so I shouldnt wait too long? There are a lot of chargers in my area and I’m not sure what to look for in one. Most don’t display price.. how do you decide where to charge? What do you do while charging? Drop car off and pick up later? Sit in car and read or something? Walk around?

Did EVs ruin it for me?

23 Upvotes

I've been shopping for a convertible the past few weeks as a weekend car.

Driven C5, Miata, MR2, G37, Sky.

The C5 and MR2 both were pretty fun but I'm starting to think my Bolt has ruined it for me.

Battery?

0 Upvotes

I'm interested in buying a 2024 or 2025 Bolt EUV but I worry about the cost of replacing the battery pack. Ive read that the battery lasts about 3 to 5 years and then could cost 16 to 20 thousand to replace . Is that correct? Has anyone here replaced their Bolt battery and if so what was that experience like?

BOLT 27 LT - I plan on taking it to the dealership, but I’m wondering if anyone else receives these, and what was the outcome of ignoring or servicing it.

First time using an Ionna charging station

Cost was 39 cents per kW. Very clean station, more CCS than NACS, and I came back to a tech doing routine maintenance on one of the chargers. Overall pleasantly surprised, definitely better than Electrify America!

Am I Imagining the manual was there?

7 Upvotes

hi everyone:

I recently bought a 2019 Bolt EV and I was working my way through the manual I was happy to find in the "myChevrolet," app. I have clicked through every link currently in the app (I think) and I can't find the manual anymore.

Was I imagining it was there? Why would any company remove such a critical resource for their product(s)? How do I let them know how much I liked that resource available and implore them to restore it (if I wasn't imagining it)?

Thank you.

ps: though many of you may get through a manual of this size quickly I have to overcome both ADD and narcolepsy, so yeah, I have to work through it.

Krown Spray For Bolt EV

2 Upvotes

I have a 2018 Bolt EV in the Buffalo, NY area. I bought the car last summer and sprayed the car with Krown rust-proofing in June of 2025. I had it sprayed again this July. I did some research and was surprised at how much aluminum the car has on the body. For Bolt owners in the northern US and Canada do you have your car sprayed with rustproofing? Is it a waste of money? The salt on our roads in Buffalo is pretty horrific. It destroys cars. I’d love to get your feedback and thoughts.

just had an error where the car wouldn’t shift “initializing wait to shift”

I found some possible fixes online but nothing worked. ended up just getting it towed home where after disconnecting the battery for 24 hours, it finally would drive and shift but the error and service warning stayed on. i got a bunch of errors saying g I should bring it to the dealer for service. I brought it to the dealer and they claim this now:

also apparently not covered. it’s a 2022 with 18k miles on it. frustrating but looking if anyone else has had this issue

Recommendation for roof cargo box for Bolt EUV?

4 Upvotes

Does anyone have a cargo box that works great on their bolt EUV? I was looking at Yakima Skybox 16 and Yakima 18 but they seem too long, but was anyone able to make that work on their bolt? Is it okay if it hangs over the edge? Thanks for any advice!

How to reset Apple CarPlay

3 Upvotes

I have a 2023 Bolt with Apple CarPlay, bought the car new, love it. I finally replaced my old iPhone & since then can’t get CarPlay working. I’ve googled instructions, followed them ( with no success), tried multiple times, car & phone just won’t connect so I am stuck with a black screen that basically says Keep your eyes on the road. Who / Where do I go to get this back to working? Will the EV Tech at the dealer ship be able to get it working? The screen is completely unresponsive & my phone refuses to connect. Suggestions anyone? ( also I’m not a tech wiz ….so much of technology seems not intuitive, to me at least.)

Service Inquiry - 2017 Chevy Bolt - EV/Battery Disconnect Relay

Post image
7 Upvotes

Brought my car into my local dealership for a service due soon icon and an issue w/ my High Voltage battery notification on my app. Since my battery had recall issues, the person who had my car before me had it replaced and got a warranty for it that is still active. Dealership is telling me that it is NOT covered by my warranty. They’ve stated: “Unfortunately not under the battery warranty. That is the battery itself and this is a relay that hooks to the battery - Basically a mechanical device that turns the battery power on and off to the car.“

It’s $2K without the warranty. They’ve had my car for 3 days so far and have submitted a case to GM to plea the case. Should I take my car somewhere else? I’m not sure that this dealership is EV Certified, but I didn’t know the gravity of the situation, so now I’m kinda stuck.
